We visited the LaSallette Shrine in Attleboro, MA for the festival of lights. Eight-year-old Itsy Bit was eagerly anticipating the visit to the Nativity Manger and a visit to Clopper the Donkey in his warm stable stall. Folks come from miles around.

Many light a candle and say a prayer for someone in need.

And proclaim "Peace on Earth" and "Goodwill Towards Mankind".
